History with Cy | Herodotus - A Quick Look at his Life and the Gold-digging Ants of India | Supplemental Podcast #9 @HistorywithCy | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 10 minutes ago
Herodotus, arguably the ancient world's greatest historian...or storyteller. Perhaps a bit of both. In this episode, we take a look at his life, where he traveled and see what may have been the source for one of his more fantastical stories, namely the gold-digging ants of India.

Special thanks to Malay Archer for creating the astounding machinimas that really brought this program to life using the Total War: Rome 2 Divide et Impera, Cyrus the Great campaign and Age of Bronze mod.
